第二部分 阅读理解

此部分共有2篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，每个问题后有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do ― become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.

The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before ― between 45 and 50 hours a week ― but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.

I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.

All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a \"regular\" job. But for now, at least, it suits me.

6. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer?

A. He had always liked writing. B. He was dissatisfied with his company. C. He never liked his job as a manager. D. He wanted to change his lifestyle. 正确答案：A

题目解析：细节题。A“他喜欢写作”B“他不满意现在的公司”C“作为管理者他从来没有喜欢过他的工作”D“他想要改变他的生活方式”，从第一段“I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer.”（我总是想去做——成为一个自由撰稿作家）可以看出，B、C、D和原文意思相违背，所以只有A“他总是喜欢写作”正确。 7. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?

A. He works fewer hours a week. B. He does not have to work on weekends.

C. He can change his schedule as he likes. D. He can work at night and sleep late. 正确答案：C

题目解析：细节题。第二段都是在说作息时间表的变化和灵活多变，所以可以看出C“他能按他的喜好安排作息时间。”是正确的，正确答案为C。 8. Why does the author do his own cooking now?

A. He wants to lose weight. B. He has got lots of free time on his hands. C. He no longer feels tired after work. D. He wants to eat more healthfully.

A. he is going to find a regular job soon B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life

D. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him 正确答案：B

题目解析：细节题。从最后一段可以看出“„I really like my current lifestyle „But for now, at least, it suits me.”（我真的喜欢当前的生活方式„„至少到现在，这种方式是适合我的），只有B“在近阶段，他将不会去改变他的生活方式”符合原文，所以正确答案为B。

All the customs, beliefs, values, knowledge and skills that guide a people's behavior along sharing paths are part of their culture. People throughout the world have different cultures. Therefore their standards for behavior often differ. We tend to assume that certain behaviors have pretty much the same meaning around the world and we anticipate that other people will act as we do. But this is clearly not the case. When we are in a different culture, we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.

Not surprisingly, interaction among people of different cultures is often filled with uncertainties and even difficulties. Take the matter of the \"language space\identified by the anthropologist Edward T. Hall. He notes that Arabs tend to get very close to other people, close enough to breathe on them. When Arabs do not breathe on a person, it means that they are ashamed. But Americans insist on staying outside the range of other people's breath, viewing the odor as distasteful. Americans typically back away as an Arab comes close, and the Arab follows. For example, an Arab business representative may not trust an American who backs off. On the other hand, the American may distrust the Arab for seeming so pushy.

11. Which of the following aspect does not belong to the scope of culture according to the passage? A. customs. B. beliefs. C. values. D. hobbies. 正确答案：D

题目解析：由文章第一句“All the customs, beliefs, values, knowledge and skills that guide a people’s behavior along sharing paths are part of their culture”可以看出文章并没有提到hobbies，正确答案选D。

12. Certain behaviors _____ according to the 1st paragraph.

A. have the same meaning around the world B. have different meanings in different parts of the world C. are shared by people all over the world D. can not be influenced by cultures 正确答案：B

题目解析：由句子“People throughout the world have different cultures. Therefore their standards for behavior often differ”可以看出不同的风俗行为的意思不同，正确答案选B。 13. If we are in a different culture, we may _____.

A. notice that foreigners behave differently from us B. behave differently from when we are in our native country

C. have no difficulty in understanding people D. change our behaviors 正确答案：A

题目解析：由句子“we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.” 可以看出我们处在不同的风俗中会发现自己无所适从，正确答案选A。 14. According to the passage \"language space\" means _____.

A. Arabs tend to get close to other people B. Americans tend to stand outside the range of other people

C. the distance between two speakers when they talk with each other D. the space between two foreigners when they talk 正确答案：C

15. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.

A. Arabs and Americans may move far away from the original place where they begin their talk B. Arabs are never ashamed C. It’s difficult to make friends with Americans D. Americans like to back off on any occasion 正确答案：A
